BUG: friends get lost in instantiation

[Mark Mitchell]

  This is really bugging me (that bug wasn't there in 1.1b but is in the
  19981012 snapshot). I'm using Solaris2.5.1 on an Ultra1 machine.

  template <class T> struct A ;
  template <class T> int F(A<T>) ; 

  template <class T>
  struct A{
    fcn(T) ; 
    friend int F <>(A) ; 
  protected:
    int a ;
  };

  int F(A<int> t){
    t.a++ ; 
  }


  If you know how to work around this, please let me know. Thanks.

Oops, I didn't read this carefully enough.  Your code is broken; you
must say:
 
  template <>
  int F(a<int> t) { t.a++; }

if you mean that this function is a template specialization.
Otherwise, it's just an ordinary function, unrelated to the earlier
template declarations.
